Superb Fairy Wrens
From In-Progress to Finished, native Superb Fairy Wrens (we used to have these guys frolicking outside our apartment in the bushes and would see them on our courtyard from time to time!). I haven't painted anything in a very long while, my full-time work and spending time with my partner (as well as all the usual household chores) tend to leave me with little time to get artistic. Thankfully at one stage I got organised and motivated enough to start this piece. It's evolved slowly over a number of weeks - I've not rushed it and just only painted when I had a spare moment. It's a watercolour (I tend to layer up the paint, drybrush-watercolour style). It didn't turn out exactly as I'd planned (a bit too 'gold' perhaps? And not a defined enough light source ...) but I am pleased to have at least finished it!
